Wow, that's a MAJOR score. Well done sir. I'm surprised you had a cool enough hand to play the BO instead of the BIN, but hey it worked out. I really think you might have gotten it for 1/10 of what it'd sold for at auction!
I just had a similar dilemma with a Robbie Alomar 1/1 tonight. The price was $60 and I initially put in a $50 BO. But then I realized the listing was from Burbank Sportscards, which keeps fairly regular daytime hours. So I didn't want to wait another 12+ hours overnight hoping that nobody would scoop it up. So I just said screw it and bought it for $60...

I won the Clemens and just received it in the mail today. As a fairly advanced Clemens collector, I am absolutely over the moon. I am honestly not sure why I didn't immediately mash on the BIN and instead tried a BO I do not know. habit I guess. Had I missed it because of that it would have been a hard one to get over. The seller and I ended up negotiating for a price significantly lower than the original BIN. I do not believe he knew just how rare the card is. He said he was the original owner, having redeemed the card himself back in 98. he recently went through his old cards and found the clemens. I am not sure what market value would be due to rarity, but I believe banjar to be correct. a 1/1 flair masterpiece of Clemens sold in early summer I believe for $2500.00
I would imagine this one to be either 1/1 or 1/2
